Poppi's Story

Mama Poppi has spent her life taking care of everyone else. After wandering onto a kind family's farm while pregnant, she was surrendered to us with her five surviving puppies. We suspect this wasn't her first litter, and now it's finally her turn to be the one who's cared for.<br/><br/>She's still learning that people can be trusted, so she'll need a patient adopter willing to let her settle in at her own pace. Every day she grows a little braver, especially when belly rubs are involved. She loves neighborhood walks, walks beautifully on a leash, and is beginning to discover just how fun life can be. She's still getting used to new people and other animals, but with a little time and a lot of love, Mama Poppi is ready to leave motherhood behind and enjoy the happy, spoiled life she's always deserved.<br/><br/>Mama Poppi is available for adoption and is also eligible for our foster-to-adopt program for homes within two hours of Chattanooga, giving her the chance to settle in while you make sure, she's the perfect fit.<br/><br/>Currently in a foster home in Chattanooga, TN, and available for transport to a number of locations within the continental United States.<br/>Please note: We are unable to adopt to residents of Massachusetts at this time.<br/><br/>To apply, complete our official adoption application at yourlocalfurmama.com/adoption-application.<br/><br/>Petfinder inquiries are not considered applications. Once your application is received, a member of our Adoptions Team will contact you within 23 business days.

Your Local Fur Mama's Adoption Policy
We ask more questions than most rescues because it truly matters to us that every animal ends up in the right home. Our process starts with completing our full adoption application. After reviewing your application, our team will schedule a brief phone interview to get to know you better. All adopters must then submit a quick home walkthrough video for our team to review, along with vet records for any current pets. For dog adopters, the video should include outdoor space. Once everything is reviewed and approved, we will arrange a meet and greet in person for local adopters or by video for out-of-state adopters. Please note that completing the process does not guarantee an adoption, as our goal is always the safest, healthiest match for both the animal and the adopter. If the pet you applied for is not the right fit, we are happy to work with approved applicants to find a better match. For kittens, priority is given to adopters willing to adopt a pair, as they thrive with a buddy. Some kittens are listed as bonded pairs and must be adopted together.
